Week 7: Google tools

13. Play with Google Maps

Have watched the google maps video and read the Wikipedia entry for google. In the video, liked the demo on how to add favourite places to maps.

Have had a look for the VU campus at Sta. Liked the way that the little yellow man could be moved around to surrouding streets to give a "street view".

Liked the hyper link to the VU web site from the map.

Country areas are not as well covered as city areas are in google maps.

Found the "get directions" feature pretty neat. Found my way by "car" from VU St Albans to Fts Park. In the "walking" directions, liked the link to the street view via the little camera icon next to the "distance".

Sattelite view of the VU Sta campus and surrounding suburbs was pretty neat.
